B. 2 r = 0.10 (10% annual interest rate, expressed as a decimal)

C. X n = 1 (assuming annual compounding)
D. 3 t = 5 years

The correct answer is D. 3 A = 20000(1 + 0.10/1)^(1*5)

The coefficient is the number that stands alone in front of A = 20000(1.10)^5
the variables without any exponent. In this case, the A = 20000 * 1.61051
coefficient is 13, which is in front of the variable x (raised A = 32,210.20
to the power of n).
The total amount due on P20,000 invested for five years
So, the nearest answer is: D. 3 at 10% annual interest is indeed approximately
P32,210.20. Therefore, the correct option is C. P30,000.

C. -13x+10y What will Katherine have to pay for the round table?
D. 13x-10y A. P5,100
B. P5,300
The correct answer is D. 13x-10y C. P5,000
Given expression: 2x - {3y - [5x - (7y - 6x)]} D. P5,250

Start by solving the expression inside the innermost The correct answer is A. P5,100
brackets: To calculate the price that Katherine will have to pay for
7y - 6x the round table, we need to apply the 15% discount to the
original price of P6,000.00.
Continue by simplifying the expression inside the square
brackets: Discount = 15% of P6,000.00
5x - (7y - 6x) = 5x - 7y + 6x = 11x - 7y Discount = 0.15 * 6000
Discount = P900.00
Now, the expression becomes:
2x - {3y - (11x - 7y)} Now, we subtract the discount from the original price to
get the final price:
Distribute the negative sign inside the curly braces:
2x - 3y + 11x - 7y Final price = Original price - Discount
Final price = 6000 - 900
Combine like terms (2x and 11x, -3y and -7y): Final price = P5,100.00
13x - 10y
So, Katherine will have to pay P5,100.00 for the round

So, the correct answer is option D: 13x - 10y.

C. 3
Finally, divide the total sum by the total number of tests D. 1
(6) to find the final average:
The correct answer is
Final Average = 492% / 6 = 82% If the expression is meant to be written as 18 - (-3 * y^3),
then the coefficient in front of the term -3y^3 is 3. In this
So, the final average is 82%. Therefore, the correct answer case, the expression can be simplified as 18 + 3 * y^3.
is A. 82.0%.

B. careless to protect and preserve the environment, such as waste

C. encouraging segregation, energy conservation, and reforestation.
D. prophetic These actions help reduce pollution, conserve resources,
and support ecological balance.
The correct answer is D. prophetic
The word "apocalyptic" is often used to describe 219. Zebra, horse and donkey have similar characteristics

catastrophic consequences. D. Genus

217. The two consecutive even integers, the sum of which is The correct answer is D. Genus
34 are ________. Zebra, horse, and donkey have similar characteristics
A. 17 and 19 because they belong to the same Genus, which is Equus.
B. 20 and 21 In the system of biological classification (taxonomy),
C. 16 and 18 organisms are grouped into a hierarchical structure, and
D. 20 and 22 "genus" is one of the ranks. The genus level is above the
species level. In this case, the three animals - zebra, horse,
The correct answer is C. 16 and 18 and donkey - share a common genus, which means they
To find the two consecutive even integers, we can set up are more closely related to each other than to other
an equation based on the given information. groups of animals.

Let x be the first even integer. To clarify:

Then the next consecutive even integer will be x + 2 (since Genus: Equus
consecutive even integers have a difference of 2). Species:
Zebra: Equus quagga
The sum of these two integers is 34: x + (x + 2) = 34 Horse: Equus ferus caballus
Donkey: Equus asinus
Now, let's solve for x: So, they belong to the same genus "Equus," which is why
2x + 2 = 34 they have similar characteristics.
2x = 32
x = 16 220. How much was borrowed if the interest at 8% is P6,000
after 3 months is 76,000.00?
So, the first even integer is 16, and the next consecutive A. P25,000.00
even integer is 16 + 2 = 18. B. P300,000.00
C. P150,000.00
Therefore, the two consecutive even integers whose sum D. P200,000.00
is 34 are 16 and 18, which corresponds to option C.
The correct answer is B. P300,000.00
218. All of the following contribute to environmental Interest = Principal × Rate × Time
conservation EXCEPT __________.
A. Carburetor exhaust Where:
B. Waste segregation Interest = P6,000.00
C. Energy conservation Rate = 8% per annum (0.08 as a decimal)
D. Reforestation Time = 3 months (or 3/12 years, since the rate is given on
an annual basis)
The correct answer is A. Carburetor exhaust
Carburetor exhaust does not contribute to environmental Let's plug in the values and solve for the Principal (amount
